People are haters but Reach! Nice variety in missions, space mission was dope. OST was great as well



Around the Network

Halo ODST had the best story in my opinion while Halo Reach is my favourite Halo game to date.



Halo CE.



2 has the best campaign in terms of level design, pacing, and engagement through out. 4 has the best story



Reach



Around the Network

4 takes the cake for me. It had the most epic setpieces and the best story.

Reach comes a close second. Combat Evolved and 2 were also mostly excellent, with the exception of the library in CE and the rushed ending in 2. 3 didn't really grab me, it just didn't feel epic enough for the whole "grand finale" thing it was billed as.

I haven't played 5 or ODST yet.

100% agree it sucks that that Bungie were pussies and removed the Arbiter campaign for Halo 3.



Halo Reach had good pacing and fun missions. Halo 4 was also very good.



Just played through all of them except Reach and I'm currently on my second playthrough of Guardians. I'd say Halo 2 AE is overall my favorite, story was delivered nicely, I liked Arbiter's character development and gameplay was quite catchy.

Halo 5 has the most exciting and dynamic gameplay though, sprinting and new abilities make Spartans feel like they mean some serious business. Halo 4 was also pleasantly eventful.

Have you never played Reach, or just not this time?

And yeah, I too really liked the Arbitar's campaign in Halo 2, it added both variety to the gameplay and an interesting new dimension to the story. Haven't played the anniversary edition though, still got my steelcase special edition for the original Xbox. ;)
